This is the 1st tna of the year, Right?
WRONG! THIS WAS PRE-RECORDED IN FUCKING SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR!
Ok, lets get this over and done with!
Kenny King put a good showing against his now stable-mate in DA BEAT-DOWN CRU, YO!, Samoa Joe, King must be happy about this because he'll have his ass kicked by a different heel at every One Night Only event from now on!
They mixed up the tired Maddie vs Gail match we ALWAYS get at One Night Only, so Angelina Love was added to the mix-Despite getting a Better than Divas chant, I found it to be blasé.
In a real shocker, Sanada defeated Austin Aries, but with a little help from James Storm.
Now for the huge chunk of Discontinuity. As Mockstar Dud and Ethan MidCarder teamed up despite current storylines! The Guy who can't wrestle a lick, Pulled an Orton ie, Didn't want to job on television and threw his toys out of the pram, Allowing Gunner and Anderson the win. and for The TURD! to claim to be undefeated, except he isn't!
In the match we could and deserved to get if they Built up Eric vs Magnus, We got it...Except on a show that no one will remember in a year's time. Also we had an ad-break in between Young's 5 moves of Doom...Was that really necessary?, Challenge?
Finally Monster's Ball between FLAByss and Bram was dull! how do you make a hardcore match dull? oh yeah, I know by Booking 1 at every One Night Only!
Storm and Roode was Dull too! Storm won!
But the main event was good. Mainly because it wasn't a rehashed match from last year. MVP Made Bones Crack and Talked Smack as he faced Jeff Hardy. But Hardy won out in a back and forth match. Skip the rest just watch this match.

THE FLIPPIES 2014
It was the year that was in 2014. a year that both major companies failed to deliver to British Fans. Whilst 1 chairperson put his ego at the door and let the future stars put on a ppv that put TLCS To shame, Dixie left her Brain at hers and systematically annoyed everyone with her delusions of grandeur, getting so bad that male-on-female violence seemed-and became-the most feasible option!
THE DISCO STU AWARD FOR DEBUT OF THE YEAR!
ALEXANDER RUSEV AND LANA (I LOVE ME SOME BOLSHEVIK BE-DONKEY-DONK! AND SO DOES HE!)
Ok, I call him Poosev, Ok and Vince's geo-political atlas is off by 30 years. Ok, he's Bulgarian, and she's American with a Latvian Mother, Ok, her accent slips everytime she says "Shut up"-But dear god, something must be going right for them, as he's still undefeated!
MARGE VS VOILENT TELEVISION AWARD FOR FUNNIEST MOMENT
JINGLE ALL THE WAY TW...FUCK OFF!
YA DAFTY!
IF CAN ONLY BAE T'EXISTANCE O'GRADO, YER DANCER!
British boot camp was a TNA show exclusive to fans on this side of the pond, and while this was your average fly-on-the-wall show, it elevated thanks to 1 man-a Scottish comedy wrestler, by the name of Grado. Despite run-ins with Al Snow, which ultimately lead to his elimination, it only served to make him more popular, his entrances are the most viewed wrestling videos ever-anyone that can make Scottish people sing THIS song is a legend!

MAUD'S FUNERAL FOR THE SADDEST MOMENT OF THE YEAR
THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR'S ULTIMATE END
It could have being, and had the makings of a happy ending.
After years of conflict, accusations and backstabbing, The Ultimate Warrior finally was inducted into the Hall of Fame. The next Night, a tired and Heavily Breathing Jim Hellwig got in the ring and cut a poignant promo.
It's almost like he knew!
That Tuesday morning after watching it live, I woke to the shocking news, Jim Hellwig had died of Heat Exhaustion after leaving raw!
THE HER ASHES STOPPED THE MISSLE LAUNCH AWARD FOR (EXIT OF THE YEAR)
STREAK BROKEN. LEGACY: STILL INTACT!
No doubt the most shocking moment of the year, was the Breaking of the 21 year undefeated streak by the undertaker at the hands of Brock Lesner. to say that there was a backlash was an understatement. this opened the floodgates to the state WWE is in now, the fact that Brock is the defending WWE champion whenever he needs a new rotor for this helicopter!
THE MY PLANET NEEDS ME AWARD FOR THE EXIT THAT MADE US SAY "GOOD RIDDANCE!"
DIXIE GOES THROUGH A TABLE-MALE ON FEMALE VIOLENCE HAS NEVER BEING SO SATISFYING!
Dixie carter has always being the butt of jokes, ever since making tna founder choice between his company and women is (reportedly) loves. Ever since the whole debacle of 10.10.10 where Hogan and Bischoff showed their true colours despite warnings (cryptic or otherwise) from sting, this year Dixie y'all really dug her a fresh hole by rehiring Vince Russo without telling Spike TV reps-who unlike Dixie remembered the dip in quality when they had wcw on their network, took their ball and ran. But not before making bad decisions that showed their emptying of Impact's kitty-namely not renewing key wrestler contracts, downgrading Lethal Lockdown to just a cage match with no roof full of weapons. Pre-recording ppvs without the consequences of continuity, and pushing her rumoured lover, SHAG-NUS into the world title-which lead toSHOWTIME Part-time Eric Young getting the title, copying Daniel Bryan's win, with no build-up whatsoever. Eventually Dixie made the show completely unwatchable when she had the mic, as this 40 year old woman- with the cadence of an 8 year old got what she deserved, no matter how overboard it might have being!
THE 138TH (MATCH OF THE YEAR)
NEVILLE/ZAYN AT NXT TAKEOVER: I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE AND IT WORKS!
If last month's NXT 3rd ever PPV was the yellow brand's crowning Moment, then this match was the Jewel in said crown! for over half an hour, 2 international level superstars gave the world (and Britain 3 days later!) a last minute addition to my considerations for this award! Sami Zayn may won on his road to redemption, but Kevin Owens turned him into Roadkill, in a superb ending a top-notch show!
WORST! EPISODE! EVER!
SING A SAD SONG OF SANDOW!
While it felt like forever, only last year Damien Sandow was holder of the money in the bank case. Where he made the mistake that cost him all credibility: Challenging John Cena and Newly Winning! This caused Sandow to drop a pipe-bomb in subsequent week deriding creative for treating him like a 2good little soldier" and where did that get him?
Wearing Costumes for jokes only Yanks Got and losing to Adam Rose on a tri-weekly basis!
But it can't get worse, right?
If you an a GOBSHITE FROM MTV! Off course it's gonna get worse!
THE POOCHIE AWARD FOR IDIOT OF THE YEAR
ETHAN MIDCARDER THE TURD-FOR INSTANT HEEL HEAT, JUST ADD LAST NAME!
Last year when I made my considerations for Flippies, like most writers I started in October so it'll be on the shelf, as it were by January. So I paid no real never mind to the former Derrick Bateman struggling to beat a jobber for 10 minutes at last years bound for glory. In the next 12 months, however, it was painfully obvious why he was released before ever reaching the main roster-Carter is academic at best, I've said it before that his moveset is like a computer games default setting in Create-A-Wrestler, plus if you are building him up as a monster heel, don't have every heel on the roster hold the Babba's hand and let him win cleanly in less than 20 minutes!
THE MARGE FOR BEST FEMALE
SASHA BANKS
CALL HER A TERRIBLE HEEL TURN. CALL HER A RATCHET. CALL HER OUT ON BEING JUST THEIR BECAUSE SHE'S SNOOP'S COUSIN. BUT VERY SOON, YOU JUST MAY CALL HER NXT WOMEN'S CHAMPION!
When I first saw Sasha I thought "oh here we go!" and I wasn't the only 1! the slender, smiling, hi-5ing blonde and light-skinned and honey brunette had people questioning her ethnicity, let alone her talent. But if you can't make it as a face, a heel turn is the perfect tonic to make you grow a personality, and yes "The hypnotising Heel-Turn Makeup Mirror" has become a mini meme on ChiliWrestlers, But her showing at R:evolution was a revelation! 2015 could be her year "Bank" on it!
THE BELLA AWARD FOR WORST FEMALE GOES BACK TO THEIR NAMESAKES!
I WISHE YOU BOTH DIED IN THE WOMB1
THE BEELAS DIDN'T KNOW HOOTERS WAS REHIRING-BUT I DIDN'T TELL ANYONE!
THE HOMER FOR BEST WRESTLER
JOHN CENA
*ECHOES OF SPAT DRINKS ACROSS THE IWC*
Yes I, Eamonn Bermingham, the Biggest Cena Hater from the cobbled streets of Enniscorthy, Ireland is making SuperCena the winner. Because I'd rather have a jackass as champion who's here every week than the Jackass who's only here for a paycheck!

STARTER FOR FIVE: BOOBIE PRIZES: 5 WORST GAME SHOWS
I hope you enjoyed my gameshow theme month, Infact I've enjoyed myself in the making of this years theme month. And considering how I ended my reviews of WWE and Impact-I bloody well needed that!
However, what happens when you actually do something next to impossible-make a bad gameshow.
NUMBER 5
TIPPING POINT
a daytime quiz combined with a coin pusher-Played by the kind of idiot who think they can win big on coin-pushers!
NUMBER 4
JADE GOODY ON EGGHEADS
Eggheads is a gameshow on BBC2'S graveyard shift. a team of 5 must knock out each of the Eggheads-British most winningnist and prolific quiz winners. Not Good, but not Terrible either...
Until Big Brother racist Jade Goody trying to save face headed a team with all Asian girls.
THE END GAME WAS A 5-1 WHITEWASH! (PUN INTENDED!)
Imagine the ride home!
-Me Jade Goody thoughts Asians woz smarter than Whiteys!
-Well, now you're just being Racist!
NUMBER 3
SKATOONY (COULDN'T FIND THE BRITISH VERSION-AND DISNEY HAS RIGHTS TO TOTAL DRAMA IN BRITIAN-SO MY VERSION HAS THEIR CHARECTORS COMPLETLY CHANGED!)
Ladies and gentleman of America-this is what Britain has instead of [adult swim]!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O26Z1lxrl8k
Just look at the terrible quality and stilted acting from the Child actors. Even the Actual child who "goes through" is stupid. But look at the cartoon characters animation-3 mouth sizes on 2 frames.
I Bet Scott Fellows is looking at this going "Wow this is Quality!"
NUMBER 2
DEAL OR NO DEAL
Or "Win Or Still Win!" as I call it!
NUMBER 1
RED OR BLACK
A testament that Simon cowell makes too much money, he wants anyone to have it-even without talent! A 100 people are shown events that have 2 outcomes and each must beat. the last 1 person win a chance to win a Million-Not a Million A CHANCE TO WIN.
The first guy to win was a convinced Women-Beater!
SMOOTH MOVE, HIGH-TROUSERS!
However, what happens when you actually do something next to impossible-make a bad gameshow.
NUMBER 5

STARTER FOR TEN: HOME VERSIONS: 10 MORE OBSURE GAMESHOWS YOU NEVER HEARD OF!
As expected I'm getting some backlash from people on this side of the Atlantic about putting nothing but American shows in part 1...Even though I only grew up on ,remembered, and talked in length about the British (and Irish) versions!
GUYS!GUYS! DON'T GO ALL DOUCHEY MCNITPICK ON ME! I SAID I WAS WORKING ON A PART 2!
So I devised this, a list of games shows that didn't make the first list because of it's limited syndication. we are going on ride to Japan, to Britain, to my childhood and or 1st stop is India!
NUMBER 10
DARE TO DANCE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tw98guYyIo
Fresh and new (as of time of writing, 1/12/14-the Live Final was shown yesterday!) a new concept from India. 11 Professional dancers (9 Indian, 1 British, and 1 French) all of different styles, are flown to south Africa, to Perform daring dances in extreme and dangerous conditions, Described by Host, Bollywood star Askshay Kumar as "A dance version of Enter the Dragon", and aided by his regular director and choreographer, here's hoping this show gets picked up internationally. Sadly Star Life Ok, doesn't do English subtitles on its web channel, but you can agree that the clip above is very exciting.
NUMBER 9
THE LIE!
Speaking of pickups this Irish gameshow has already being picked up by STV, but should picked by the rest of ITV. A show that took multiple choice and put it on it's head....you are seeking the wrong answer! it's low on this list as the loss/win ratio is very high! not just because the questions are hard, but because the people on it are fucking thick!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6c571VEbxM
NUMBER 8
TAKESHI'S CASTLE (ENGLISH DUB)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bTHneNoAFI
So imagine the scene...Challenge has just made the transition from a sitcom channel to a gameshow channel. As well Repeats they will also show, a long forgotten Japanese gameshow from the late 80's and early 90's, but there is a problem. The editors have removed all the incidental clips and scenes that explained the show, and they have completely spliced the order of the show, showing eliminated contestants going through to the "next" round. so they did what they could and hired someone quick witted to untangle this woolly ball of confusion Craig "Dave Lister" Charles!
NUMBER 7
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9eZ6hm58ic
This show should be picked up by America it's so much fun.
What can only be described as Family Fortunes/feud in reserve contestants must find the answer that scored the least in the survey by 100 people. but the aim is to find the right answer that no-one said-the Pointless answer!-this adds £500 to the cashpot. Plus 1 thing I love is the wrong answer sound effect it's the same sound I make when I hear stupid people!
NUMBER 6
THE CUBE
Hosted by Philip Scolfield (Who's only claim to fame outside of Britain is being Punched in the face by Leonard Nimoy!), the cube is a high tech, high risk gameshow where contestants are put through different challenges. While the studio is high tech, the games, decidedly (or deliberately!) are not! Making a bankshot, walking blindfolded in a straight line, all of these and others are things you can't do right once without practice! Unlike Millionaire, with its automatic lifelines, players must EARN their 2 lifelines, Trail Run a free shot at a game without losing a life, and the self-explanatory Simplify which is a crap-shot! the 1st person to beat the game was British Olympian, Mo Farrah. Take a look!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiUjhI4VAQc
NUMBER 5
SUPERMARKET SWEEP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FESeyvQHjTQ
Back When Jeremy Kyle was only belittling chavs on Manchester Radio, When 9:30 came around, ITV had gameshows! and we had great Gameshows that made me pull sickies as much I as could, Word Chain, Win Lose or Draw, BlockBusters, but only 1 show got a revival despite the fact the host didn't die!
In a studio reconstructed to look like a supermarket (down to real food-Supermarket brand-of course!) 3 teams of 2 took turns in answering puzzlebook style food trivia games to clock up time on their clock for the second halves trolley dash. whoever got the most costly shopping (though bonuses helped the cause!) the winning team entered the SuperSweep EndGame, a treasure hunt for a grand.
NUMBER 4
FUN HOUSE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAA8WK_inOI
By now I've Made Every Brit and Irish Over the age of 16 go absolutely insane!
2 Teams of 2 compete in random gungy games (with no game ever repeated! it must have cost the STV prop guys 1000's) Then answer a question related to the game played, then have a go-kart replay race and if that doesn't appeal to a child the winning team gets to play and win prizes in the Fun House a fair attraction on steroids!
NUMBER3
THE CRYSTAL MAZE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXVpZZTVEow
Mystery.
Challenges.
Riddles.
Treasure.
TIME TRAVEL!
...In a Gameshow?
Presented by Richard O'Brien and later by fellow eccentric Ed Tudor-Pole, Our Host guided a team of six through timezones (Aztec, Medieval, Futuristic, Industrial/Ocean) compete in loosing crystals from puzzles that require either skill, physicality, lateral thinking or general knowledge to be successful. each Crystal grants 5 seconds in the Crystal dome, a sealed fan room where the team had to collected 100 gold tokens with a forfeit of 1 for every silver token they collected. an almost impossible task!
But What is better that going on a pretend adventure?
-GOING ON A REAL ONE, OF COURSE!
NUMBER 2
FORT BOYARD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-VOSZ9qXGc
"In the Atlantic Ocean...
Miles from Mainland Europe,
Nothing but Water in All Directions,
Stands a Napoleonic Fortress-Fort Boyard
Behind each door challenges that will test the team's courage
Before their final challenge solving a riddle to gain the password
to a prize like no other...
Gold Coins guards by Tigers!
With an Intro like that, how could I not Put it on my list?
With the English version hosted by Jenny Falconer and later Melinda Messenger, and antagonized by "Boyard" (Chris Ellison and Later Leslie Grantham), the first hour was gaining the keys to open the treasure room, loose the key challenge and you loose your spot to spell out the password. the second halve was riddles to discover the identity of the word, this was my favourite bit as 1) there is no better joy for a fat nerd teenager than seeing PE teachers squirm answering children's riddles and 2) the 1st 2 series had them asked by TOM FUCKING BAKER!
AND The Gameshow that has topped my list, INNNNNNNNNNN ONE!
BULLSEYE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhiHmQfF_aE
Catapulted in television, Jim Bowen hosted the quiz/darts combo. 3 teams of 2-1 Quizzer and 1 darts player worked to together to gain money. the game Circa after series 2 went like this
Well that's it I hope you enjoyed the clips of these shows, wherever you're from or just feeling nostaligic...for the next time we meet, I'll be listing 5 of the worst gameshow moments ever!
GUYS!GUYS! DON'T GO ALL DOUCHEY MCNITPICK ON ME! I SAID I WAS WORKING ON A PART 2!
So I devised this, a list of games shows that didn't make the first list because of it's limited syndication. we are going on ride to Japan, to Britain, to my childhood and or 1st stop is India!

What can only be described as Family Fortunes/feud in reserve contestants must find the answer that scored the least in the survey by 100 people. but the aim is to find the right answer that no-one said-the Pointless answer!-this adds £500 to the cashpot. Plus 1 thing I love is the wrong answer sound effect it's the same sound I make when I hear stupid people!
NUMBER 6
THE CUBE
Hosted by Philip Scolfield (Who's only claim to fame outside of Britain is being Punched in the face by Leonard Nimoy!), the cube is a high tech, high risk gameshow where contestants are put through different challenges. While the studio is high tech, the games, decidedly (or deliberately!) are not! Making a bankshot, walking blindfolded in a straight line, all of these and others are things you can't do right once without practice! Unlike Millionaire, with its automatic lifelines, players must EARN their 2 lifelines, Trail Run a free shot at a game without losing a life, and the self-explanatory Simplify which is a crap-shot! the 1st person to beat the game was British Olympian, Mo Farrah. Take a look!

NUMBER 5
SUPERMARKET SWEEP
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FESeyvQHjTQ
Back When Jeremy Kyle was only belittling chavs on Manchester Radio, When 9:30 came around, ITV had gameshows! and we had great Gameshows that made me pull sickies as much I as could, Word Chain, Win Lose or Draw, BlockBusters, but only 1 show got a revival despite the fact the host didn't die!
In a studio reconstructed to look like a supermarket (down to real food-Supermarket brand-of course!) 3 teams of 2 took turns in answering puzzlebook style food trivia games to clock up time on their clock for the second halves trolley dash. whoever got the most costly shopping (though bonuses helped the cause!) the winning team entered the SuperSweep EndGame, a treasure hunt for a grand.
NUMBER 4
FUN HOUSE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAA8WK_inOI
By now I've Made Every Brit and Irish Over the age of 16 go absolutely insane!
2 Teams of 2 compete in random gungy games (with no game ever repeated! it must have cost the STV prop guys 1000's) Then answer a question related to the game played, then have a go-kart replay race and if that doesn't appeal to a child the winning team gets to play and win prizes in the Fun House a fair attraction on steroids!
NUMBER3
THE CRYSTAL MAZE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXVpZZTVEow
Mystery.
Challenges.
Riddles.
Treasure.
TIME TRAVEL!
...In a Gameshow?
Presented by Richard O'Brien and later by fellow eccentric Ed Tudor-Pole, Our Host guided a team of six through timezones (Aztec, Medieval, Futuristic, Industrial/Ocean) compete in loosing crystals from puzzles that require either skill, physicality, lateral thinking or general knowledge to be successful. each Crystal grants 5 seconds in the Crystal dome, a sealed fan room where the team had to collected 100 gold tokens with a forfeit of 1 for every silver token they collected. an almost impossible task!
But What is better that going on a pretend adventure?
-GOING ON A REAL ONE, OF COURSE!
NUMBER 2
FORT BOYARD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-VOSZ9qXGc
"In the Atlantic Ocean...
Miles from Mainland Europe,
Nothing but Water in All Directions,
Stands a Napoleonic Fortress-Fort Boyard
Behind each door challenges that will test the team's courage
Before their final challenge solving a riddle to gain the password
to a prize like no other...
Gold Coins guards by Tigers!
With an Intro like that, how could I not Put it on my list?
With the English version hosted by Jenny Falconer and later Melinda Messenger, and antagonized by "Boyard" (Chris Ellison and Later Leslie Grantham), the first hour was gaining the keys to open the treasure room, loose the key challenge and you loose your spot to spell out the password. the second halve was riddles to discover the identity of the word, this was my favourite bit as 1) there is no better joy for a fat nerd teenager than seeing PE teachers squirm answering children's riddles and 2) the 1st 2 series had them asked by TOM FUCKING BAKER!
AND The Gameshow that has topped my list, INNNNNNNNNNN ONE!
BULLSEYE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhiHmQfF_aE
Catapulted in television, Jim Bowen hosted the quiz/darts combo. 3 teams of 2-1 Quizzer and 1 darts player worked to together to gain money. the game Circa after series 2 went like this
- Round 1-Catergory Round-the dart had to through darts at a subject chosen by the quizzer. Each Subject picked was locked out making the round increasingly harder.
- Round 2-Official Match play Board- A "points for Pounds" round where the darts players played an official leg of darts-the winning team got an extra 50 points if the question given by Jim was answered correctly
- After the Break was the Bronze Bully, A professional player threw a set of darts, each point was a pound and the total was given to the winning teams charity of choice.
- This led to the Endgame-the Prize board, the iconic red and black dartboard with 9 prize in each red section and the bull, which was a top prize! With the prizes won the team had choice-taking the money and prizes or gamble them all for final game, 101 points or more on the matchplay board, but the non-darts player went first, adding risk and reward in an otherwise whimsical show.
Well that's it I hope you enjoyed the clips of these shows, wherever you're from or just feeling nostaligic...for the next time we meet, I'll be listing 5 of the worst gameshow moments ever!

THE LEGENDARY TRADITION RETURNS! 5TH CYCLE OF THE WALKERS LIMITED EDITION CRISPS
Even Though The Enlightened Page has gained fame as a wrestling results site, It had a humble beginning as a humour site, made in a school project. The very 1st time I wrote about? Limited Edition crisp flavours. As every year the Page developed, Walkers released new flavours, (Though Red Nose Walkers was a Close call to not ever happening in Ireland!)
Last year, Repackaging the crisps to have Real Locally Sourced Ingredients, Killed the Promotion in lieu of a cash giveaway. But this year it's back, But with the consensus that each flavour contains 1 of Walkers Locally Sourced Ingredients: Cheddar, Chicken, Tomatoes, Pork, Sour Cream or Aberdeen Angus Steak.
Let's Start!
WINNER OF THE CHEESE RECIPE: BAKED BEANS ON CHEESY TOAST
Package colour: Blue
Taste/Appearance: As I Thought would happen, The baked Beans has completely overpowered the taste of the cheese, to the point I can't even tell if their was Cheese used!
WINNER OF THE CHICKEN RECIPE: CHIP SHOP CHICKEN CURRY
Package colour: Orange (Natch!)
Flavour/Appearance: I open the bag and smell of curry spices and potato starch overpower my olfactory senses, Making me have a Marcel Proust-esque "Madeline Moment" taking me back to when I had an office job 7 years ago, when Walker had this flavour on it's XL Line. A delicious blast from the past but it's not the only 1
WINNER OF THE TOMATO RECIPE: HOT DOG
Package Colour: Red (natch!!)
Flavour/Appearance: After Washing the spicy residue off my hands to uncorrupt the flavours Another blast from the past, from World Cup Walkers 4 years ago, only this time the tomato was more evident with a red power, ketchup and zest of the tomatoes combined with a pork char. scrumptious!
WINNER OF THE PORK RECIPE: PULLED PORK IN A STICKY BBQ SAUCE
Package Colour: Pink
Flavour: A smoky thick BBQ Sauce as flavoursome as it is aromatic. IT COULD HAVE BEING SWEETER, THOUGH!
WINNER OF THE SOUR CREAM RECIPE: RACCOON IN RANCH DRESSING (NOT MAKING THIS UP!)
Colour: Yellow
Flavour: UGGGGHHHHH! NUCLEAR DAYGLO GREEN CRISPS! AVOID AVOID AVOID!
WINNER OF THE ANGUS STEAK RECIPE: SIZZLING FAJITA
Colour: Brown
Flavour: Spicy Beef with a hint of fajita flavouring a stir fried Veggies, the Crisps that retained the skins throughout the bag, has an audible crunch and lingering, but pleasant aftertaste.
Well that it! That's it for August! I'm taking a break for the summer but will return in September with the Autumn Schedule. Please follow me on twitter @RealEnli or ask me anything at enlightenedtowers.tumblr.com

IMPACT WRESTLING AND WRESTLE-1 CO PRESENTS...TNA GLOBAL IMPACT JAPAN: I DON'T KNOW WHO HALF THESE PEOPLE ARE!
For the first time ever, the company from down south that has being going further down south, heads to the far east, as co-presenters for Kaisen (Wrestle-1)'s Global Impact: Outbreak, Previously filmed on the 2nd of March.
First match the now released team of Bad Influence versus Koji Kamemoto and Minoru Tanaka, the Junior Stars, in a match worthy to open this event. The bad influence won but had there work cut out, but not enough to gloat after the victory.
Next was a match I've seem too often. In a different country, in a different arena, you couldn't find anyone else but Madison Rayne(as time of recording was knockout champion) vs Gail Kim. Kim won the non-title borefest.
FLABYSS VS Yoshihro Takiyama, a man who really consider covering that mug in front of dogs and small children, Wrestled to a no contest when Abyss introduced the thumb tacks.
Bobby Roode had a fight on his hands when he met the 27 year veteran, Masakatsu Funaki (NO, NOT THAT FUNAKI!). Each man had an answer to each others moves, But in the end, Funaki countered the Edutitta Tnemtsujda into an ankle lock.
Next was a six man tag where The Great Muta's career was on the line. and with the future of the Japanese Legend in doubt he can put his future in the hands of Hawaiian Taiyo Kea and....ROB TERRY? on the other side, Komo (no sniggering at the back, Spanish speaking people! I know what that means!), Rene Dupree and Samoa Joe. This was more a storyline than anything else, as Joe still a face refuse to destroy the Founder of Wrestle-1, and turned on his heel partners.
I'm going to skim through the last 3 as these matches have changed the course of Impact in the last few months, The Blow-Mance had their 2nd (and unnecessary) Tag title reign, Aries lost the x division to then tna newcomer, Sanada, and Magnus defended his title to a man who was not even scheduled to win the title shot tournament, Kai.
WELL THAT'S IT!
Thanks to Amazon ruining Summerslam with their pre-order poster, I WILL NOT be reviewing anymore wrestling until September. I am taking a Sabbatical in August. However I will upload my review of Piranha DD on Bogger Box Office next month.
until then, Follow me on twitter @RealEnli

Eamonn tastes Magnum 25 and Cornetto Choc-n-Ball
This February I celebrated 6 years of being Your Enlightened, but I feel like celebrating still! Now, I don't drink but usually to celebrate milestones people drink champagne. Also celebrating a significant milestone is milestone is the ice-cream brand Magnum, 25 years ago, the Finnish company under the heartbeart name, Frisko, invented Magnum, an oversized take on the humble choc ice-Millions of pops and 25 years later, we have come to this point as Heartbeat's world wide companies have distributed Magnum 25, a silver pop for a silver anniversary
MAGNUM 25
FLAVOUR: Vanilla rippled with Champagne flavoured Sauce covered in a double milk chocolate Coat that is subsequently Covered in Silver Food Colouring.
WRAPPING: Foil silver With Magnum Logo altered to incorporate the number "25"
TASTE:OW, MY RETINAS! perhaps reviewing this shiny object at 7pm was a bad idea! Initial bite and the 2 layers of chocolate has a nice thickness, the silver coat adds nothing to the flavour. The ice-cream inside is a little bit too soft so with some haste a devoured it. the champagne ripples added a something extra to the ice-cream.
And as this was a little short, as a bonus I have an extra Ice-cream to review.
CORNETTO CHOCO-N-BALL
FLAVOUR: Vanilla ice-cream specked with chocolate pieces served in cone and the head of cone covered in milk chocolate with almond pieces.
Wrapping: Red and Yellow gradient with photo of product wearing cartoon headphones. a bite has being taking out to make the product look like it's smiling
TASTE: because of the oversized head, the product is sold in a wrapper rather than it covered and ready to eat, maybe angering some cornetto Aficionados. Now to the taste, thinly spread chocolate exposes white viens of vanilla, Using my mouth to crack these leylines on the chocolate surface, I'm met with more chocolate only this times as debris of almonds and chocolate specks. And that's it really. It's a far cry from HB Re-Releasing Magnum Cone, but it's a start!

Spring update and schedule 2014
Thanks for all your views yesterday of my WrestleMania report.
THE ENLIGHTENED PAGE SCHEDULE FOR SPRING
(All posts are likely to change or be added on.)
As you know, I don't own any Internet connection, and rely solely on Cafes, libraries and Coin-ops. With 2 ppvs solely before bank holidays, It will be hard to compete when the café opens at 12 and by then, others will have the results. Also On the 7th, I have dental surgery. I've being advised to relax the day before, and not to change my eating habits drastically. So that means I won't be reviewing Extreme Rules. I'm sorry, but this cannot be avoided. The ppv in June I will review. but it'll be by a Coin-op in a supermarket, so apologies in advance for Quality.
BOGGER BOX OFFICE SCHEDULE
THE Final chapter of the Current "INFERAL LODGER" Storyline is Revealed as The 5th ever Ticket to Hell is revealed in DamNation.

YES!lemania 30 RESULTS: BLACK DAY FOR BROWN TONGUES!
Last Year St Louis was the host for last year's chamber.
This Year-THE BRIDESMAID GOT MARRIED, As it were, This is the show of shows, For the 30th Time, THIS IS WRESTLEMANIA!
As par the course, a video package of the city culture, St Louis is home to Mardi Gras as the Bella Skanks are shown in this video. I'm sure they have flashed many a reveler who throw beads at them, many times!
Hogan, Austin and the Rock had a promo and the crowd went insane! and the matches hadn't even started yet!
QUALIFYING MATCH FOR THE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
DANIEL BRYAN VS TRIPLE H
Steph introduced her husband, who is back in his Conan The Bar-BURY-ian costume. Bryan, with taped up ribs, came out and the crowd exploded in a deafening roar. Bryan all over triple h to start off! Headlock by bryan, into a Leg Lace, then a Crossface. European uppercut then off the ropes a shoulder barge. Trips with a Dragon Screw after the Flash Kicks, When HHH goes out to kiss Steph, D-Bry hits a huge TumbleWeed to the outside. Back in and it seems that Bryan was going for the Dragonfly, but he gets crotched by the Cerebral AssPlug. Bryan's taped arm goes through the wars, as it's just academic for Hunt-uh here. Shoulder barge by Bryan with a scrap of momentum, into More Flash Kicks. A Pair of Germans, A Pair of 2-Counts! Go behind into a Sleep-uh, chained into a German Release suplex by the C.O.O. But an attempt of a Superplex becomes a Sunset flip bomb. Drop kick by a revitalized Bryan, but A clothesline-uh stops it cold, the pedigree is countered into a jack-knife cover, Dragonfly is countered into Crippl-uh Crossface, into the YES!-Lock but hand on the ropes, Steph pulls out HHHusband and Bryan takes out the wwe's power couple with a Suicide Dive. Trips is now even more P.O'ed than he was, countering the Running Knee into a Spinebust-uh! But Bryan does the Impossible, kicked out of the pedigree at a count of 1! Running knee, the cover and ....
WINNER: BRYAN 4/5
And as predicted, Hunt-uh lowers the glass ceiling on Bryan, by targeting the arm of Bryan. the doctor go check on him.
Well I got this prediction wrong. the Shield looked strong as they mopped the floor with the Old Age Outlaws and Corporate Immobile Slab of Meat.
In match where only Big Slow and Lame-Arse only had entrances, Cesaro Lifted the Giant big show to win the Andre, the European crowd then hummed the Real American tune at Cesaro when he lifted the giant trophy. Will "Cesaro-ing" become the new fan-made Meme?
After a mesmerizing entrance for Bray Wyatt, thanks to Mark Crozier and the Rels, A belly dancer and the French Quarter full of Voodoo paraphilia, A toned down Golden boy Cena came and...You know the rest! But it was a great regardless! Wyatt is 3 for 3 for having the best match at the ppv this year.
THE STREAK
UNDERTAKER VS BROCK LESNER W/Paul Heyman
With coffins lined with the names of every victim, the one that was sired with Brock's name burst into flames, and left as it never happened (FORESHADOWING!)
The aggressive Lesner asserts himself, throwing the Phenom to the ropes. Clothesline nearly dumps 'Taker onto Pauly. Old school blocked by brock. but Taker relies on another trusty favourite, the Apron Legdrop. Back in and Brock gets Snake eyes, Chokeslam is countered as Taker is F5'D. Hard toss into the corner, when taker kicks out! Vertical suplex by the former NCAA Champion. After minutes of an intense beatdown, Taker with a Complete Shot. Big boot only gets 2 and the Chokeslam only gets 2. Desperation becomes stubbornness as 2 attempts at Hell's Gate is countered twice into Package-bombs. Kimora Lock! but Undertaker counters into one of his own. the hold broken, F5 again only gets 2. German suplex and other 1. Punches on the turnbuckle and the Last Ride. Tombstone and ... then what we never thought would happen!
Lesner counters into the F5 AND DESTROYS THE LEGEND!
WINNER:BROCK LESNER.
TWENTYONE.
AND ONE!
In Front of a stunned silenced crowd, after a life-time, after being a constant for 80% of WrestleMania's existence, the words no-one thought would ever speak, THE STREAK...IS OVER!
Taker rises and gets a standing ovation, We Will never see the Likes of Him again!
Divas championship was a 14-women one fall clusterfuck! No thought went into this whatsoever!
AJ Lee, of course! won but would you honestly see any of these Total(ly Useless) Divas having the belts?
This WrestleMania can be Described as 1 word, Bittersweet. Yes Daniel Bryan the title won despite the odds, but the Streak shattered has left a void for Manias to come! This Mania was great the main card was supported well by the undercard. This was changing of the guard moment, Wyatt looked a threat, A.J's title is losing it's luster, Cesaro has a catalyst to turn face and win the MiTB Briefcase, according to Mick Foley, and BRYAN IS CHAMPION. CLEANLY. WITH NO BULLSHIT IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS!
So i'll WrestleMania 30 the same way I ended The Caffeinated Coup in August.
"FUCK YOU HUNTER, FUCK YOU!"
This Year-THE BRIDESMAID GOT MARRIED, As it were, This is the show of shows, For the 30th Time, THIS IS WRESTLEMANIA!

Big boot only gets 2 and the Chokeslam only gets 2. Desperation becomes stubbornness as 2 attempts at Hell's Gate is countered twice into Package-bombs. Kimora Lock! but Undertaker counters into one of his own. the hold broken, F5 again only gets 2. German suplex and other 1. Punches on the turnbuckle and the Last Ride. Tombstone and ... then what we never thought would happen!
Lesner counters into the F5 AND DESTROYS THE LEGEND!
WINNER:BROCK LESNER.
TWENTYONE.
AND ONE!
In Front of a stunned silenced crowd, after a life-time, after being a constant for 80% of WrestleMania's existence, the words no-one thought would ever speak, THE STREAK...IS OVER!
Taker rises and gets a standing ovation, We Will never see the Likes of Him again!
Divas championship was a 14-women one fall clusterfuck! No thought went into this whatsoever!
AJ Lee, of course! won but would you honestly see any of these Total(ly Useless) Divas having the belts?
This WrestleMania can be Described as 1 word, Bittersweet. Yes Daniel Bryan the title won despite the odds, but the Streak shattered has left a void for Manias to come! This Mania was great the main card was supported well by the undercard. This was changing of the guard moment, Wyatt looked a threat, A.J's title is losing it's luster, Cesaro has a catalyst to turn face and win the MiTB Briefcase, according to Mick Foley, and BRYAN IS CHAMPION. CLEANLY. WITH NO BULLSHIT IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS!
So i'll WrestleMania 30 the same way I ended The Caffeinated Coup in August.
"FUCK YOU HUNTER, FUCK YOU!"

The final card for Wrestlemania 30
Well, after reading the smackdown spoilers, it's clear that no other matches have being made or altered. so as is, at time of writing, the complete Card for wrestlemania 30. All matches are placed in descending importance.
QUALIFYING MATCH FOR THE FINAL PLACE IN THE TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
DANIEL BRYAN VS TRIPLE H
It's the match the IWC wanted to see, but were to afraid to ask! To say Bryan is riding high coming into Louisiana is an Understatement. The only thing Triple h who will be pelted with scorn can do is job or Win cleanly, but there's little chance of that happening!
Money on: Bryan
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE WWE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
TBD VS SHITISTA VS BLANDY BORETON(C)
Bryan has to win! does anyone honestly want to see Hunt-uh and his two biggest boot-polishers recreate the Fingerpoke of Doom?
GOOD SCENARIO: BRYAN
BAD SCENARIO: FING-UH POKE OF DOOM-UH!
THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION BIG LANGSTON AND 19 OTHERS WILL COMPETE FOR THE ANDRE THE GIANT TROPHY IN THE ANDRE THE GIANT MEMORIAL BATTLE ROYAL
So the guy's who didn't get a match will be put in battle royal? They've being doing that for 9 years! don't you watch the dvd release anyway the only wrestlers having any interview time about the Battle royal is Big Slow and GOBSHITE FROM MTV! So they are the favourites! come back Andre, all is forgiven!
MONEY ON: BEING UP FOR THE GOOKER OR THE POOCHIE!
THE UNITED STATES CHAMPION DEAN AMBROSE, ALONG WITH ROMAN REIGNS AND SETH ROLLINS, WITH FACE HUNT-UH'S BROWN TONGUE BRIGADE, NAMELY THE BIG RED IMMOBILE SLAB OF CORPORATE MEAT KANE, AND THE OLD AGED OUTLAWS
If you thought that the Shield's face-turn was a way to tell us that they would not be splitting up, well they got you! They are still splitting up and may do so on Sunday.
MONEY ON: BROWN TONGUE BRIGADE!
REAL MONEY ON: Ambrose turns on others, or Ambrose and Rollins turns on reigns. Either way, Reigns Becomes single Babyface.
PRE-SHOW 4 WAY TAG TEAM MATCH
THE BOO-SUCKS(C) VS THE REAL AMERICANS VS LOS LATINOS STEREOTYPICOS W/MINI MANTAUR VS RYBAXEL
Well, Vince doesn't care so why should I, When I can't watch it?
WINNER: WHO CARES! (BUT I HOPE REAL AMERICANS)
THECRUISERWEIGHT OPEN
FUTURE ENDEVOURED CLASS OF '14
VICKIE GUERRERRO DIVA INVITATIONAL
THE ENTIRE DIVA DIVISION (PLUS SOME TALENTLESS SKANKS YOU THOUGHT WERE FIRED!)
Oh 7 year rule! you always think no-one remembers the terrible, terrible shit you try to bury!
obliviously they wont put 2 battle royals on the same show, so this must be a ELIMINATION MATCH! much like that terrible match back at WM25 that birthed the SHITE-tina gimmick , all the divas will have 1 entrance I assume giving no real identity to any of these girls, apart from skin colour and skimpiness of outfits
MONEY ON: AJ
THE STREAK!
BROCK LESNER VS THE UNDERTAKER
Lesner has returned to wwe to wrest the grip of the wwe title out of the champions hands to no avail. But Lesner has become champion the youngest ever and will always be remembered, so what else can the Beast Incarnate take?
IMMORTALITY!
If Brock could do the impossible, and conquer the undertaker, then his name will be etched in infamy. But many have said that and many has doubted the taker before. Therefore I can't call it!
TOO CLOSE TO CALL!
BRAY WYATT LOSES TO...I MEAN VS JOHN CENA
What is wrong with this picture? Cena not in the main event? In all seriousness this is a career defining match for 1 Bray Wyatt. With Mark Crozier and The Rels playing Wyatt to the ring, Wyatt may also have a more grandiose entrance than we are use to. but no fireworks please! As for the match, yeah standard Cena affair, but I'm sure Wyatt would be 3-for-3 for having the best match of the night.
MONEY ON:THE FUCK YOU THINK?
Well that's me done. I'm off to get enough snacks and stuff to fully enjoy this Sunday the 6th of april at Midnight GMT.

THE ENLIGHTENED PAGE IS 6:BY THE NUMBERS
12th of February 2009
After Opening his first ever email account as part of the Office Technology course he took, I, Eamonn Bermingham, couldn't even imagine What Lay ahead....
Six Years, 229 Posts, and 3000 pageviews later, This Blog is still going strong. So I'm going to break down the past 6 years as statistics and quantities.
5 Honours, 2 Passes and 1 Merit.
The final Result that I had as I finished my course 6 years ago. Then The Recession happened
55.502 degrees North, 6.569 West
The Longitude and latitude of Enniscorthy, My Home town. I've Lived here for 7 years now. And with the exception of Final resolution in 2009, and the Marine last year, I've posted everyone single 1 in my home town's café or library
27 Crisps, 6 bars.
In total, the Number of different limited edition flavours I've taste tested since the Walkers Do us A flavour started in 2009. This was the very first thing I reviewed as this site was not a wrestling site at first, but a humour site. With Fry-up appearing twice first in 2009, then in 2011'S Red Nose Walkers as Stephen Fry-up. I didn't have all 15 flavours of World Cup walkers, as Haggis and Welsh Rarebit was only available in those countries. Last Year, when Walkers relaunched as using real ingredients (Pissing of Muslims and vegetarians who Love the taste of meat and Bacon, but not the real thing, Isn't Hypocrisy Wonderful?) I reviewed instead the Chunky Champions, 6 limited Edition Kit Kats.
28 WWE Champions, 23 I.C. champions, 16 U.S Champions, 22 Tag champions.
When I Started this 6 years ago, Triple H was WWE champion, John Layfield was Intercontinental Champion, The new Tna investor, MVP, was U.S Champ, and how quickly have they fallen, Epico and Primo were tag champs.
50
The number of combined ppvs I've writing over six years. With 2010 being the only time I did a full calendar Year. I rarely do a full year as Christmas comes thick and fast after Hallowe'en.
113.
The very first PPV, Night of Champions is also my most read with 113 pageviews.
At Least 36
This is the epic number of Cans I drank of Monster Energy to stay awake since the brand launched 3 years ago. That's a Heart-stopping 13 litres!
96 Bacon-cheeseburgers, 2 Phillie cheesesteaks, 5 Po'Boys and 2 4-course Italian Meals
While I may be 1 bad booking mistake from a heart-attack, At least driving away the Hunger Pains and soaking up the caffeine are my Homemade Meals, Corrosponding to where the Show is held while the My Cheeseburger recipe My "Gut-busters" is default when I don't know where the show is held.
Between 4-7
This is the fluctuating Time difference between the WWE live shows and GMT. Not that it matters as all shows start at 1am Greenwich Mean Time. With the exception of Wrestlemania that happens on midnight here.
75
My most emotional Theme Month was Celebrating the now defunct Dandy comic, which Cease publication two Christmases ago. The Printed Juggernaut entertained legions of children for 7 decades.
AS LONG AS I CAN.
The duration That I will use to entertain you, whether it's here, or boggerboxoffice, or on my twitter page @saveusPoe. There is too much left I need to see, And I want to be here telling you want happened.
SPECIAL THANKS
To my Family that supports me, no matter what.
To the Memory of My Granddad and Nanny, Who Made me love the 3 loves I have: food, Wrestling and Life Itself.
To Diamanda Hagan, Who I took a chance and showed my Review of City of Ember and suggested I joined the TGWTG Forum.
To My friends at the Forum, Especially JimB, Loki, LLSF, Chimp, Declan Burningham and Critical Jew. YOUR FRIENDSHIP Has kept me going. Even when I felt like packing it all in.
And to you reading this for the first time, Now you know What it takes. The only question is: Will YOU?
THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH I LOVE YOU ALL!
